    Podcast Summary

    • Donald Trump Arraigned in Manhattan CourthouseFormer President Trump faced arrest and arraignment in Manhattan over unspecified charges, with supporters present. DC Circuit Court denied his aids' testimony block. The event marked a significant moment in US politics, with conflicting reports on mugshot.

      Former President Donald Trump has been arrested outside the Manhattan courthouse and is undergoing the arraignment process. The charges against him are yet to be read out, but the district attorney, Alvin Bragg, is holding a press conference regarding the matter. Trump's attempt to block his top aids from testifying in a related case was also rejected by the DC Circuit Court of Appeals. Trump's arrival at the courthouse was met with a few supporters, including Marjorie Taylor Greene and George Santos, who both left shortly after arriving. The historic event comes amid conflicting reports about whether a mugshot will be taken and marks a significant moment in American politics.

    • Congressman George Santos questions Trump's accountability during arrestDespite Trump's arrest, Santos criticized the MAGA movement for wannabe fascism and idiocracy, while Trump's entrance to the courthouse was described as humiliating and cowardly.

      During a heated discussion about former President Trump's arrest, Congressman George Santos questioned the accountability of the former president. The arrest took place at a courthouse, and conflicting information emerged about whether Trump would speak to the press. Santos expressed his frustration with the MAGA movement, labeling it as a combination of wannabe fascism and idiocracy. Meanwhile, outside the courthouse, Trump was met with a small crowd of supporters and detractors. Trump was seen entering the courthouse, but he did not have a mugshot taken. The scene was described as humiliating for Trump, who was expected to make a statement but did not. The discussion ended with a commentary on Trump's cowardice and the cowardice of the MAGA Republican movement.

    • Protesters Oppose Marjorie Taylor Greene in New YorkMarjorie Taylor Greene's divisive actions and beliefs led to strong opposition during a protest in NYC. Her attempt to find a 'safe space' in Florida highlights lack of support for her views.

      Marjorie Taylor Greene's actions and beliefs have led to her being widely unpopular, as shown when she was met with strong opposition during a protest in New York City in contrast to her usual MAGA rally environment. Despite her claims of being silenced and assaulted, the reality is that she was outnumbered by protesters and media, and her attempt to find a "safe space" in Florida only highlights the lack of support for her views among the general population. The MAGA movement and figures like Greene are detested by many Americans, and their toxicity and refusal to face accountability are becoming increasingly apparent. The arrest of former President Trump on charges of business fraud is a significant moment in American history, and it should be celebrated as a step towards justice.

    • Politicians prioritizing theatrics over practicalityGeorge Santos and Donald Trump both made public appearances during contentious situations, prioritizing theatrics over practicality, leading to unexpected outcomes. The MAGA movement was also discussed, with the hosts expressing skepticism towards its members.

      George Santos, a congressional candidate, infamously made headlines for his dramatic exit from a House hearing during a contentious exchange with lawmakers. However, there's an interesting parallel to draw with former President Donald Trump's arrest, which also saw him making a public appearance despite having the option to do it remotely. Both politicians, in their own ways, prioritized theatrics over practicality, leading to scenes that played out differently than they might have imagined. The discussion also touched upon the MAGA movement, with the hosts expressing their views on its members being "idiots" who are wrong about everything.

    • Political leaders should focus on governing instead of deflecting attentionPolitical figures who focus on deflecting attention from their own issues are widely despised and hated outside their gerrymandered districts, while those who focus on governing are respected.

      Political leaders should lead and not act like "fascist sheep." The discussion highlighted the contrasting approaches of political figures like Donald Trump and George Santos, who focus on deflecting attention from their own issues, and those who focus on doing the hard work of governing. The Manhattan District Attorney's office, for instance, is more focused on prosecuting various crimes, including those unrelated to Trump, than issuing press releases about him. New Yorkers' reaction to Marjorie Taylor Greene's visit to the city was a clear indication of the sentiment towards such figures across America. Additionally, the attempt by Republicans to claim that they represent "real America" was challenged, as the real America was seen in the people who drove them out of New York City. These figures are widely despised and hated when they leave their gerrymandered districts and enter the larger American community.

    • Controversial Congresswomen Support Trump During ArrestDespite the media's portrayal of Trump's arrest as a sad day, some supporters, including Marjorie Taylor Greene and George Santos, were present with questionable signs. Trump's lack of significant public support during the arrest underscores the importance of seeking truthful news and accountability.

      The most notable figures supporting former President Donald Trump during his arrest in New York were two controversial members of Congress, Marjorie Taylor Greene and George Santos. The caliber of supporters present at the scene was questionable, with some displaying anti-Semitic signs. The media's portrayal of Trump's arrest as a sad day for the country was criticized, as it failed to acknowledge the criminal accountability aspect. Additionally, some of Trump's supporters have compared him to Jesus Christ, which was deemed sacrilegious due to Trump's disregard for religious teachings. The lack of significant public support for Trump during his arrest was also highlighted. Overall, the discussion emphasized the importance of seeking truthful news and holding individuals accountable for their actions.

    • Marjorie Taylor Greene's Controversial Past and WealthDespite presenting herself as a moral authority, Marjorie Taylor Greene's past involves wealth inherited from her father's company and controversial actions, while she criticizes others' personal lives and engages in provocative statements.

      Marjorie Taylor Greene, who presents herself as a moral authority, has a background of wealth inherited from her father's successful construction company and a controversial past involving infidelity. Meanwhile, she criticizes others' personal lives and engages in provocative statements, such as comparing Trump to Jesus. During the arrest of Trump, there was a chaotic scene outside the courthouse with Trump impersonators, protesters, and media present. Despite her strong and fearless public image, Greene's past raises questions about her credibility and consistency.

    • Judge reads charges against Trump during arraignment, defendant enters pleaTrump faces multiple hearings if enters not guilty plea, potential gag order, and MAGA Republicans' response is seen as weak

      During an arraignment, a judge reads the charges against a defendant, in this case, Donald Trump, and the defendant enters a plea of guilty or not guilty. The indictment is unsealed before the arraignment, and if Trump enters a not guilty plea, he may have to attend multiple hearings due to the large number of felony counts. A gag order could potentially be issued, but if violated, could result in contempt charges and potential imprisonment. Trump's history of responding to accountability suggests he may comply with a gag order if enforced. The MAGA Republicans' response to Trump's actions is seen as cowardly and lacking factual backing, and when confronted with consequences, they often back down.

    • Trump and DeSantis' Weakness Revealed in Loss of ControlPolitical figures like Trump and DeSantis struggle to handle tough questions and lose control, relying on bullying and grifting to appear strong. Recent events have shown Trump selling 'not guilty' merchandise and surrounded by questionable aides.

      Many political figures, including Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis, crumble when they lose control of their environment and are confronted with tough questions. They are weak individuals who need to bully and control their surroundings to appear strong. Trump's recent arrest and the subsequent events have highlighted this, as he was selling "not guilty" merchandise and grifting off his situation even while being fingerprinted. Trump's lawyers also argued against cameras in the courtroom, but the proceedings showed Trump and his team, including Boris Epshteyn and Jason Miller, exiting the courthouse. These individuals are often surrounded by aides who have questionable backgrounds and rely on grifting and leeching off Trump to make a living.

    • First time a former US president faces criminal chargesHistoric arrest of Trump sets precedent, marks new level of accountability, no one is above the law.

      Former President Donald Trump's arrest was a historic moment and a significant blow to his public image. Despite his expectations of being greeted as a hero, Trump was met with fear and humiliation as he exited the courthouse. The arrest marks a new level of accountability for the former president, and the reaction from his legal team and supporters was subdued. The event sets a precedent as the first time a former U.S. president faces criminal charges. Trump's appearance in court was a stark contrast to his bravado and defiant attitude towards the law in the past. The arrest was a reminder that no one, not even a former president, is above the law.

    • Trump's Arrest: Reality vs. PerceptionDespite Trump's image as a powerful figure, his arrest was a common criminal process with fingerprinting and booking.

      Former President Donald Trump's anticipated triumphant exit from his courthouse arrest did not go as planned. Instead of addressing the press, he was booked and fingerprinted, marking the beginning of his legal accountability. The media's portrayal of the day as somber was challenged, with the hosts expressing their excitement and sharing images of Trump's arrest on social media. They emphasized that Trump's image as a Rambo-like figure was a fabrication, and the reality was that he was a common criminal facing multiple investigations. The hosts encouraged their audience to share the image of Trump's arrest on Instagram and celebrated the day as a significant moment for American democracy and criminal justice.

    • Historic Precedent: Trump Faces Criminal Charges in New YorkFormer President Trump is currently facing criminal charges in New York for hush money payments during the 2016 election, marking a significant precedent and emphasizing the importance of upholding the law.

      Former President Donald Trump is currently facing criminal charges in a New York court, marking a historical precedent. The Manhattan District Attorney, Alvin Bragg, is leading the case regarding hush money payments made to Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election. Trump's legal team and some Republicans have attempted to deflect the situation by bringing up unrelated issues and false information. However, Trump lived and committed potential crimes in New York, making him a target for local prosecution. The first photograph of Trump in court has been released, and the proceedings are ongoing. This event sets a significant precedent and underscores the importance of upholding the law, regardless of political affiliations.

    • Donald Trump's Indictment: A Swing and a MissDonald Trump was indicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records and pleaded not guilty. His entrance at the courthouse was described as a 'swing and a miss' as MAGA supporters were largely absent.

      The arraignment of Donald Trump in a New York courthouse was not the triumphant event he may have expected. The first photograph from the courtroom showed Trump's legal team, including new lawyer Todd Blanche, but Trump himself did not look triumphant. Trump had posted on social media about the surreal nature of the situation, but was also selling mugshot merchandise despite not having an actual mugshot taken. The indictment against Trump includes 34 counts of falsifying business records, and Trump has pleaded not guilty. The defense team, led by Blanche, made arguments in court after the plea, and the indictment has allegedly been unsealed and includes a conspiracy count. The MAGA supporters were largely absent from the scene. Trump's entrance was described as a "swing and a miss," and he blew past the Fox News setup. The lawyers, including Boris Epshteyn, were also part of ongoing federal investigations.

    • Trump Faces 34 Counts of Business Record Falsification and ConspiracyTrump faces 34 counts related to business records falsification and conspiracy. Potential links to a wider criminal enterprise with unindicted coconspirators and campaign finance violations are suggested. New legal team led by Todd Blanche is hired for defense.

      The recent charges against Donald Trump include 34 counts of falsifying business records and conspiracy. The conspiracy charges could potentially link Trump to a wider criminal enterprise, with unindicted coconspirators like Michael Cohen, Kellyanne Conway, and David Pecker. Trump has recently hired a new legal team, led by Todd Blanche, who has a successful track record in similar cases. The indictment may involve payments to two women, suggesting that the Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal cases could be connected in a broader "catch and kill" conspiracy. Michael Cohen, Trump's former lawyer, reportedly has evidence of Trump's involvement in these payments, which could potentially implicate Trump in campaign finance violations. The unsealed indictment is expected to provide more details on these allegations.

    • Trump's Arraignment: A Spectacle of WeaknessDespite Trump's attempts to make his arraignment a grand spectacle, he appeared weak and defeated. Legal woes continued with plans for protective orders and upcoming trials.

      Donald Trump's attempt to make his arraignment a grand spectacle backfired, as he looked weak and defeated in the face of his legal troubles. The event attracted supporters like Marjorie Taylor Greene and George Santos, but they were met with indifference in New York City. The Manhattan District Attorney's office also announced plans to seek a protective order regarding discovery in the case, adding to Trump's legal woes. Despite his efforts to present himself as a victim, Trump's multiple indictments, impeachments, and upcoming trials weigh heavily on him. His miscalculation of the optics of a Zoom arraignment further underscores his missteps in handling his legal situation.

    • Protective order prevents release of evidence in Trump caseA protective order in Trump's NY criminal case keeps confidential grand jury testimonies and documents, while the DA and AG handle proceedings quietly.

      During the legal proceedings against Donald Trump in New York, a protective order has been put in place to prevent the release of certain evidence to the public. This order is common in court cases and ensures that exculpatory evidence, such as grand jury witness testimonies and documents, are kept confidential within the court system. The Manhattan DA, Albert Bragg, is handling a high-profile case against Trump, marking the first time a former U.S. president faces criminal charges. The case revolves around hush money payments made to Stormy Daniels in 2016. Trump's entrance into the courthouse was met with a closed door and no fanfare, contrasting the expectations of his supporters. The presence of New York's Attorney General Leticia James during Trump's deposition serves as a reminder of her role in the case, and her calm demeanor during their encounter stands in contrast to Trump's bravado.

    • Discrepancies in Trump's Asset ValuationsTrump's asset valuations for financial reporting differ from those used for preferred lending terms and tax advantages, highlighting potential legal concerns and mismanagement in his team's courtroom preparation.

      There seems to be a discrepancy between the appraised value of former President Donald Trump's assets for financial reporting purposes and the evaluations used to secure preferred lending terms and tax advantages. During a broadcast discussion, the hosts analyzed Trump's recent court appearance, noting his perceived fear and weakness, and expressed concern about his handling of legal situations. They also pointed out that Trump's team had failed to properly prepare him for the public scrutiny that comes with a high-profile court case. The hosts emphasized that every moment in a courtroom is on record and in view of various audiences, including potential juries. The broadcast also mentioned that Donald Trump Jr. had posted a controversial image on Truth Social, adding to the ongoing legal drama surrounding the Trump family.

    • Trump Family's Threatening Messages Towards Opponents' Family MembersThe Manhattan District Attorney is seeking a protective order for discovery materials in the Trump case due to concerns about potential leaks and inflammatory rhetoric from the Trump family, including threatening messages about a judge's daughter who worked on the Biden Harris campaign.

      During a court hearing regarding a potential gag order in the Trump case, it was revealed that Donald Trump Jr. had posted a threatening message about the judge's daughter, who had worked on the Biden Harris campaign. This is part of a pattern of behavior by the Trump family, who have previously attacked family members of their opponents. The Manhattan District Attorney, Alvin Bragg, is seeking a protective order for discovery materials due to concerns about potential leaks and Trump's inflammatory rhetoric. Trump's lawyers argue that these are free speech rights, but the judge has expressed concern about the threats. The hearing also discussed potential conflicts of interest involving Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels.

    • Unexpected developments in Trump's arrest trialThe unexpected addition of Todd Blanch as Trump's lead trial lawyer and the lack of a prepared statement from Trump led to unfavorable media coverage during his arrest trial. A potential gag order was discussed, and Trump is expected to make a statement outside the courthouse instead of waiting for hours.

      Today's court proceedings regarding Donald Trump's arrest saw unexpected developments, including the unexpected addition of Todd Blanch as the lead trial lawyer and the lack of a prepared statement from Trump. The proceedings also saw a potential gag order being discussed, with the judge likely to grant it while protecting Trump's First Amendment rights. Meanwhile, Alvin Bragg is expected to give a press conference soon, and Trump is expected to make a statement outside the courthouse rather than waiting for hours. The lack of proper preparation and coaching for Trump's behavior and appearance in the courtroom led to unfavorable media coverage. Trump's departure from the courthouse through the back door also added to the uncertainty of where and when he would make his statement. Overall, the proceedings highlighted the importance of being prepared for legal proceedings and the impact of every action and appearance on public perception.

    • Trump's Indictment: Unexpected ResponseFormer President Trump's anticipated public response to his indictment didn't go as planned, with him looking defeated and avoiding the media instead of holding a rally or press conference.

      Former President Donald Trump's anticipated public response to his indictment in New York has not gone as planned. Instead of holding a rally or giving a press conference, he has been seen looking defeated and avoiding the media. The Secret Service has reportedly been trying to prevent an incident, but Trump would ultimately have the final say on any public appearance. The Manhattan District Attorney, Alvin Bragg, is expected to hold a press conference soon to provide updates on the indictment. Trump's team and supporters have downplayed the significance of the charges, but many in the media and public view this as a significant moment in American history. The indictment includes 34 felony counts, and Michael Cohen, a key witness in the case, is expected to share his perspective on the situation later in the day. Overall, this is not the day that Trump had envisioned, and he has lost control of the narrative surrounding his legal troubles.

    • First former US president indicted for business record falsificationDonald Trump, the first former US president, was indicted for falsifying business records to conceal hush money payments during the 2016 campaign.

      Former President Donald Trump has been indicted by a grand jury in New York for falsifying business records in the first degree. This marks a significant moment in American history as Trump is the first former president to face criminal charges while in office. The indictment, which is 16 pages long, accuses Trump of making false entries in business records with the intent to defraud. The charges stem from payments made during the 2016 presidential campaign to silence women who alleged affairs with Trump. Trump's reaction to the indictment was visible anger as he entered the courtroom. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican congresswoman, attempted to protest the indictment but was met with whistles and jeers from the crowd. The Manhattan District Attorney, Alvin Bragg, is scheduled to give a statement on the matter at 3:45 EST.

    • Donald Trump Indictment: Multiple Checks and False Business RecordsTrump faces up to 4 years in prison if convicted for multiple checks and false business records related to hush money payments to Michael Cohen.

      The recently unsealed indictment against Donald Trump involves multiple checks and false business records related to payments made to Michael Cohen for hush money. Each check is treated as a separate crime, leading to numerous counts. If Trump is convicted, the sentences would typically be served concurrently, resulting in a potential sentence of up to 4 years. The indictment also includes conspiracy charges, and the falsification of business records is a recurring theme throughout. The New York Post's headline, which focuses on the indictment being unsealed, doesn't fully capture the complexity of the situation.

    • Trump Faces Legal Consequences with Manhattan DA, Charged with 34 Felony CountsFormer President Trump indicted on 34 felony counts, including payoffs to silence individuals, potential election influence, and tax fraud, which could result in a maximum sentence of 273 years.

      Former President Donald Trump is facing significant legal consequences with the Manhattan District Attorney's office, as indicated by the 34 felony counts he's charged with, which could result in a maximum sentence of 130 years and 136 years. The New York Post, under Rupert Murdoch's ownership, has been critical of Trump in its reporting, trying to maintain Republican readership while distancing from him. The indictment includes allegations of payoffs to silence individuals, such as a doorman at one of Trump's buildings, regarding potential damaging information. MSNBC reported this detail, but it's not explicitly stated in the indictment. The scope of the indictment appears to go beyond the Stormy Daniels case, indicating a pattern of fraudulent business practices to conceal damaging information during the 2016 presidential election. The indictment outlines a scheme to influence the election by purchasing negative information and making false entries in business records. Michael Cohen, a lawyer who worked for the Trump Organization, is believed to have made a $130,000 payment to an adult film actress on Trump's behalf through a shell corporation. The indictment also includes allegations of tax fraud.

    • False business records concealed illegal payments to protect Trump's reputationThe indictment alleges Trump and Cohen falsified records to hide payments to a doorman, Stormy Daniels, Karen McDougal, and an illegal campaign contribution, potentially leading to up to 4 years in prison for each false record violation.

      The indictment details several instances where false business records were created to conceal illegal payments and suppress damaging information. This includes a payment to a former Trump Tower doorman who claimed to have information about an alleged extramarital affair, as well as payments to two women, Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal, to prevent them from speaking publicly about alleged affairs with Donald Trump. Michael Cohen, Trump's former lawyer and fixer, played a central role in facilitating these payments and falsifying business records. The indictment also mentions Cohen's guilty plea for making an illegal campaign contribution and his subsequent prison sentence. Overall, the indictment suggests a pattern of deceit and criminal activity to protect Trump's personal reputation. The potential consequences for Trump could include significant jail time, as the indictment carries a maximum sentence of up to 4 years in prison for each false business record violation.

    • Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's Trump Investigation Continues with More Charges ExpectedManhattan DA Alvin Bragg is expected to bring more charges against Donald Trump in the next 6 months, including tax records, fraudulent valuations, and potential criminal indictments in multiple jurisdictions. Trump could face significant jail time.

      Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's investigation into Donald Trump's business dealings is far from over. Bragg has pursued cases sequentially, starting with the Trump Organization, followed by falsifying business records, and is expected to bring broader charges related to tax records, fraudulent valuations, and more. Trump faces trials and investigations in the coming months, including E Jean Carroll's rape trial and defamation case, Letitia James' civil fraud lawsuit seeking billions of dollars, and potential criminal indictments in Fulton County and from special counsel Jack Smith. The data suggests that Trump could face significant jail time and that Bragg will bring additional charges in the next 6 months. Despite skepticism from some, Braggs' handling of the case and the mounting evidence have led to his becoming the first to criminally indict Trump on felony counts.

    • A Significant Legal Moment: Trump's Arrest and the Importance of Upholding the LawThe arrest and indictment of Donald Trump highlighted the need for equal application of the law and effective legal defenses, as well as the potential consequences of inflammatory statements and record manipulation.

      The discussion revolved around the arrest and indictment of Donald Trump, with a focus on the insufficiency of his lawyers' defenses and the significance of the event as a demonstration of equal application of the law. The incident began with a misunderstanding over a photo of Trump with a baseball bat, which was not depicting an act of violence. The lawyers' attempts to deflect attention from the issue were criticized as unhelpful. Trump and his family members were warned by the judge against making inflammatory statements, but they continued to post content stoking violence against the judge's daughter. The Manhattan District Attorney, Alvin Bragg, released a statement emphasizing the importance of upholding the law and ensuring accountability for businesses manipulating records to cover up criminal conduct. The day marked a significant step towards showing that everyone is equal before the law in America. The press conference by Alvin Bragg and a political beatdown featuring Michael Cohen were expected to provide further insights into the situation.

    • Trump arrested for falsifying business records related to hush money paymentsFormer President Trump was arrested and charged with 34 felony counts for falsifying business records to conceal hush money payments during the 2016 election, including to Stormy Daniels.

      Former President Donald Trump was arrested and charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in New York related to hush money payments made during the 2016 election, specifically to Stormy Daniels. This case was initially deemed unlikely to be prosecuted by federal authorities, but Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's team pressed forward with the investigation despite threats and intimidation. Trump, who thought the visit to the courthouse would be triumphant, was instead met with solemnity and seriousness. The charges stem from a scheme to suppress negative information during the election by making false statements and payments to individuals, including Daniels. The evidence presented includes false documents signed by Trump himself, and the charges allege that these false statements were made to conceal crimes related to the 2016 election. The trial is expected to shed more light on these allegations.

    • Trump and team charged with falsifying business records to conceal criminal conductFormer President Trump and his team face felony charges for falsifying business records to hide potential election law violations and other criminal conduct in New York State.

      Former President Donald Trump and his team allegedly engaged in a scheme to falsify business records to conceal criminal conduct, including potential violations of New York state and federal election laws. The Manhattan District Attorney's office, which has a history of vigorously enforcing white collar crime, charged Trump and the Cohen case marks the office's 100th felony false business records case. The conduct described in the case is felony criminal conduct in New York State, and the office has brought similar charges for various types of fraud in the past. The investigation was thorough and rigorous, and the case was brought when it was ready. The charges include falsifying business records and concealing criminal conduct, including potential election law violations. The evidence, including text messages, emails, and phone records, will be presented in a public courtroom.

    • Manhattan DA charges former President Trump with 34 felony countsFirst time a former US president faces criminal prosecution, could face up to 100 years in prison, potential legal precedent set by Manhattan DA's decision to prosecute

      Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg brought historic charges against former President Donald Trump, marking the first time a former U.S. president has faced criminal prosecution. The charges include false statements and a $11,130,000 wire payment, as well as additional false statements to tasking authorities. Trump was arrested at the courthouse, and although supporters like George Santos and Marjorie Taylor Greene attempted to rally for him, the event was largely attended by media. Trump pled not guilty to the 34 felony counts and could potentially face up to 100 years in prison if convicted, though a more likely sentence would be around 2-4 years. Bragg's decision to prosecute despite the federal government's earlier decision not to do so sets a significant legal precedent.

    • Trump Charged with Felonies in Manhattan Federal CourtFormer President Trump was indicted for falsifying business records to hide criminal conduct during the 2016 election. He's required to attend future court hearings, including jury selection for a rape trial.

      Former President Donald Trump was charged with felonies in Manhattan Federal Court and will have to appear in person for future hearings, including during the jury selection process for a rape trial against him. Despite his posting about the judge's daughter on social media, no gag order was issued. Trump's lawyers, including Joe Tacapina, defended him and denied allegations of him swinging a baseball bat at the Manhattan DA. The indictment accuses Trump of falsifying business records to conceal criminal conduct during the 2016 presidential election. Trump did not speak to press after the court appearance. The criminal justice process will continue with future hearings and potential trials.
